JOHN MAERZ B.A. L.M.T.

John is a philosopher, teacher, artist, musician massage therapist and self taught astrologer who has been involved in esoteric study since age 17. He is the owner and co-founder of the Astrological Institute of Integrated Studies, (AIIS Publishing) in Margate, Florida which edits and publishes CDs, tapes and books on esoteric studies. He is, also, a former owner and co-founder of Starchild Books in Port Charlotte, Florida. The Astrological Institute was where John Edward received training in Psychic Development, Tarot and Numerology from John Maerz and his former business partner, Sandy Anastasi, in the mid eighties which was, then, in Bayshore, NY. Starchild Books is among the first places that John Edward held "gallery" sessions before the release of his first book "One Last Time" and  the airing of "Crossing Over" on the Sci-Fi network.

     John’s four year degree in Psychology and Education from C.W. Post college in New York paved the way for offering life insights and career counseling through his private sessions and in his newsletter, “The Rising Star.” In 1979, he experienced a pivotal point in growth through his participation in the Life Spring educational forum bringing an unparalleled accountability factor into administering his guidance. Currently, he is attending Florida Atlantic University in pursuit of his masters in Mental Health Counseling.

     As a teacher John's experience extends to metaphysical areas as well. He began teaching himself astrology at seventeen. Astrology then led to Numerology, I-Ching, Tarot, Kabbala, Tai Chi and Chi Kung. He has come to understand that all the seemingly different disciplines are no more than separate languages for the same principles with many crossovers in their symbolism. As a result of having had the honor to sponsor John Edward at Starchild in the late nineties he was inspired to help construct a curriculum for the developing of Spirit Communication abilities in the students who passed through AIIS and Starchild. John M is, also, an effective medium and occasionally conducts gallery style “messages” sessions himself. He occasionally teaches Spirit Communication seminars with Sandy Anastasi in Northport, Florida.

     As an advisor John is a professional coach and has a diverse background in the human potentials field incorporating personality influences, shadow work, nutritional needs, creative expression and personal desires while uncovering innate abilities and hidden potentials for his clients. He is dedicated toward raising awareness and shares his own unique understandings and perspectives about life’s journey and meaning. He, also, recognizes the need for balance and accountability on our mental, physical and emotional levels as well as fulfilling our spiritual potential through individual experience.

     As a holistic healer John primarily focuses on moving energy throughout his patient's body to release blockages. He specializes in Shiatsu, Cranial Sacral work, energy work, including Reiki, and is well versed in diet and nutrition as well. He's been a vegetarian for over 30 years and is a student of Eastern Medicine and Herbology. As a Reiki Master Healer, John periodically offers classes teaching Reiki. He currently lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with his Pekingese dog, Mickey.

SANDY ANASTASI B.S.

Like many who realize their psychic gifts later in life, Sandy Anastasi awakened to her abilities in her late 20’s. She understood that many people develop deep psychological problems because their psychic abilities are misunderstood and often blocked. These insights and an inner need to pass on her knowledge and abilities led her to begin teaching others to develop their own psychic gifts. She believes that if you are psychic, you MUST use your gifts, or at least learn to control them, or they will use you! Sandy has many psychic gifts, but she believes her greatest to be the ability to identify and emulate the gifts of others. Because of that she is uniquely suited to teach people to open and develop those very gifts in themselves.

Sandy has been a professional psychic and astrologer since 1979. She holds a B.S. degree from Adelphi University and has teaching certifications in several fields. In addition to teaching, Sandy has worked as a Safety Engineer, and owned her own small book store for many years before retiring to become a full time psychic counselor, writer and teacher. Sandy’s writings include books on Astrology, Kabbala, and Tarot, as well as Psychic Development.

Sandy has also appeared on many radio and television shows over the years, most notably Crossing Over and Cross Country – both television shows hosted by her good friend and former student, John Edward. She currently lives in Florida with her husband and four dogs.
